Chapter 359 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 30

Jia Lang was speechless, Jia Lang was puzzled, Jia Lang sighed! Wasn't she only thirteen years old? Is it really okay for a kid like her to talk about wives, concubines, women, etc.?

"Don't you think your sister-in-law is too much? What man only has one woman by his side? She doesn't let me marry other women, and I tolerate that, but she doesn't let me touch the dowry around her, isn't that a bit too much?"

Jia Lian was still complaining non-stop, repeating the same few words over and over again, making Jia Lang's ears feel calloused. Jia Lian finally realized that Jia Lang had been silent and did not respond, so he stopped talking and stared at Jia Lang: "Lang'er, why don't you say anything?"

"..."

"Ugh......"

"Brother Lian, what do you want me to tell you? That Sister Feng did something wrong?"

"Brother Lian, do you know that Sister Feng doesn't allow you to take a concubine? Although she is jealous, it is precisely because she is jealous that she proves that she cares about you."

Seeing Jia Lian opening his mouth to say something after hearing Jia Lang's words, Jia Lang raised his hand to stop him and continued, "Besides, the most important thing for the eldest wife right now is not this!"

"The most important thing is that the first wife has no legitimate son, which means you don't have a son yet."

Jia Lian was stunned by Jia Lang's words. Why did he suddenly turn to the question of whether he had a son? Jia Lian thought so and asked.

Jia Lang did not explain too much, but just said: "It won't be long before things change. The one sent by the second house will be made a concubine!"

Jia Lang deliberately emphasized the few words sent by the second room. Jia Lian was not really stupid and reacted quickly. He had always lived in the former glory of the Rongguo Mansion and was not very familiar with the changes in real affairs in the capital. When he heard Jia Lang say this, he immediately realized that Jia Lang might have known a lot of things he didn't know in the Imperial College. At the moment, Jia Lian had completely given up the idea of ​​taking a concubine and kept pestering Jia Lang to ask.

"Lang'er, do you know something? Tell my second brother quickly. My second brother doesn't have as many connections as you do in this city. He is completely in the dark and doesn't know anything except having fun."

"We are brothers. You can rest assured about your second brother's character. He will never go out and tell anyone about it. So just tell me, okay, my dear Lang brother?"

Jia Lang couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body when he was suddenly treated like a spoiled brat by Jia Lian. He had brought up all this just to give Jia Lian a hard time, so naturally Jia Lang wouldn't keep it to himself. He kept it a secret, and only after he had completely attracted Jia Lian's attention did Jia Lang finally begin to explain.

"Brother Lian, do you know what the situation of our Rongguo Mansion is like in the capital now? To put it nicely, we are called the Four Princes and Eight Dukes. To put it bluntly, we are actually hindered by the new emperor."

"Your Majesty is old. Although the incident involving the former Crown Prince happened many years ago, it still had a great impact on Your Majesty. I'm sure that things will change soon."

"After the new emperor ascends the throne, the old emperor's vassals, the Four Princes and Eight Dukes, will become obstacles. However, for the sake of reputation, the new emperor will definitely not take action directly. He may even give a wave of rewards first to paralyze everyone."

"And what reward could be more cost-effective than making a woman a concubine?"

Following Jia Lang's words, Jia Lian thought more and more that it made sense. He had no chance to attend court, but he was not lacking in judgment. Even though he hung out with playboys all day, Jia Lian still knew some things.

"We have no daughters in the first house, but the second house happens to have a legitimate daughter in the palace. After the new emperor ascends the throne, what better way to give Rongguo Mansion face than to reward the legitimate daughter of the second house without actually having to pay anything?"

"The Second House has a daughter who is crowned as a concubine, and the Second House's arrogance will surely rise."

"You are the only legitimate child of the first house, so the title should definitely fall on you. But if you don't have a son, and the second house has a queen, a beloved Jia Baoyu, and a legitimate son and grandson, do you think the first house will be able to win the fight?"

"While the second wife hasn't started yet, you should find someone to take good care of you and your sister-in-law and give birth to a son as soon as possible. Don't let that situation really come to an end. By then, even those of you who can give birth to a second wife won't give you the chance to do so."

"What's the point of taking a concubine? The illegitimate sons born by a concubine cannot inherit the title of the first wife. No matter how many children are born, they can't compare to the precious baby of the second wife."

"If you don't care about this title, just ignore what I said. This title has nothing to do with me anyway."

It must be said that Jia Lian really listened to Jia Lang's analysis. In his life, Jia Lian cared most about the title. For the title and women, he could put them aside. He had always felt that his future was set and he didn't need to worry about it. Naturally, he didn't care about other things. Just like Jia Zhen next door, he had everything and naturally began to pursue his hobbies.

Jia Lian was frightened to be obedient after hearing from Jia Lang that his title was not stable at all. Jia Lian had seen clearly from Jia Lang's incident that in Rongguo Mansion, either the first wife suppressed the second wife or the second wife suppressed the first wife. If he didn't want to be suppressed by the second wife, he could only work hard to maintain the first wife's advantage.

Originally, the advantage of the first wife was legitimacy, but Jia Lang was right. If he didn't have a son who could inherit the title, and the second wife had the support of the palace, wouldn't it be clear that the first wife's advantage was gone?

As for what Jia Lang had said before about the old emperor and the new emperor, Jia Lian was so frightened after hearing it that he didn't dare to ask any more questions or think too much about it.

He had only one thought in his mind: Lang'er was able to enter the Imperial College at such a young age, he was indeed much smarter than himself, and in the entire Jia family, only Lang'er was capable and did not care about his title at all, so if there was anything important in the future, he had to discuss it with Lang'er before doing anything.

The reason why Jia Lang persuaded Jia Lian to try to have a son with Wang Xifeng was not to help Wang Xifeng stop Jia Lian from taking a concubine, but because he didn't want Jia Lian to be ignorant of the law and mess around outside and do something bad that would tarnish his reputation.

In ancient society, no matter what a person does, he will be burdened by his reputation. Even if Jia Lang himself does not care, as long as people outside care, they will have a different opinion of Jia Lang because of his reputation. Jia Lang does not want the results he has worked hard to get through exams to be wasted because of Jia Lian and others.

It was obvious that Jia Lian had listened to Jia Lang's words. Not only did he listen to them, he also carefully discussed and confirmed them with Wang Xifeng and her husband. Wang Xifeng thought more than Jia Lian. When she listened to what Jia Lian said about the eldest son of the first wife, she immediately thought of the difficult labor she had when she gave birth to Qiaojie and the fact that Qiaojie had not been well even after more than a year since she gave birth, she had been seeing the court physician for more than a year.

"It seems that I, Wang Xifeng, have been tricked!"

Obviously, Wang Xifeng finally realized that the court doctor had been bribed. She had to find another doctor as soon as possible to take a closer look. She then glanced at Jia Lian beside her and said, "Second Master must also be checked out. From what Lang'er said, I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has been tricked."

Although Jia Lian felt that it was somewhat shameful for a man to deal with such issues, when he thought about the fact that he had been cheating on Wang Xifeng for many years without any results, he thought that maybe something really happened to him.

This is no small matter. Even if it's embarrassing, we need to investigate! We must investigate!
